If oil up, they could have one time gain depending on their inventory level and raise average selling price, just like how petronm and hengyuan gaining profit when oil price up.
They are the price setter now that a lot of chemical plant in Texas are not operational yet due to hurricane incident

Lotte Chemical Titan Holding Bhd
(Oct 27, RM5.19)
Maintain buy with a lower target price (TP) of RM6.66: Lotte Chemical Titan Holding Bhd’s nine months of financial year 2017 (9MFY17) core profit of RM717 million (-29% year to date [YTD]) was within our expectations, but below consensus — accounting for 72% and 65% of full-year forecasts respectively.
Lotte Chemcial staged a remarkable sequential rebound, where core profit surged 35% quarter-on-quarter, as plant utilisation recovered to 77% (second quarter of FY17 [2QFY17]: 71%). On top of this, recall that 2QFY17 was impacted by water supply interruption for 11 days. Additionally, higher interest income from initial public offering (IPO) proceeds amounting to RM26 million, boosted profits.
To a lesser extent, the bottom line was also propped up by lower taxes. The stellar comeback was in spite of a dip in 3QFY17 volumes from Indonesia. Recall that ethylene feedstock for Lotte Chemical’s polyethylene (PE) plants in Indonesia is mainly sourced externally.
US capacity shutdowns due to Hurricane Harvey had led to a surge in ethylene pricing. Therefore, Lotte Chemcial scaled down PE production in Indonesia following the dip in PE spreads. To recap, Indonesian PE accounts for 22% of FY16 revenue.
Exceptional items excluded from 9MFY17 core profit include: i) PPE write-offs: RM39 million; ii) reversal of administration expenses for Lotte Chemical USA: RM15 million; iii) initial IPO expenses: RM14 million; iv) foreign exchange gains: RM28 million; and v) fair value gains: RM9 million.
YTD bottom-line contraction was mainly attributed to lower volumes and higher unit production costs due to the water incident in April 2017. Recall that in 9MFY17, there was statutory turnaround at both of Lotte Chemical’s naphtha crackers for a total of 86 days. Additionally, volumes were also affected by the water incident, and reduced output from Indonesia. The above more than offset higher product average selling prices ( 20% YTD), lower taxes and increased interest income.
Key takeaways from a conference call: Management is optimistic about achieving strong utilisation of 90% for its Malaysian plants in 4Q17. This is underpinned by completion of all statutory turnaround, with no shutdowns scheduled for 4Q17. On a dim note, PE output from Indonesia is expected to be lower due to weak price-earnings margins.
Also, management expects 4Q17 demand to be resilient, underpinned by higher demand from Latin America until the supply from the US market recovers. Recall that US ethylene crackers were shut down at end-3Q17 due to hurricanes.
Development of TE3 and PP3 projects are on track with 100% and 42% mechanical completion respectively. TE3’s targeted commercial launch date of 4Q17 remains intact despite a fire incident. — TA Securities Holdings Bhd, Oct 27

DPS is only 5.2 sen per FY, i believe there's been reporting errors for each of the QR, hence it looks like DPS > EPS.
Look closer to entitlement tab instead of the DPS derived from each QR

I don't believe the old man is disposing, but rather the downtrend is caused by dilution of share due to constant conversion of loan stock by directors. Directors have been converting millions and millions of shares nonstop

Liihen just had bonus issue and share split on 2015, and still cash rich with even their own plantation. Can truly see they are striving to reduce cost while rewarding shareholder handsomely with dividends. At least their cash is put to good use instead of overly spending them via bonus issues or share split etc

not vested in masteel, but still i applaud your confidence for defending your points even though some of them might be incorrect.
1. David is correct in the sense that Masteel uses mainly scrap iron (besi buruk) to manufacture Rebar.
2. the big 4 rebar manufacturers are not exporting to US, and they are protected by anti-dumping measures in the local front.
If you can read mandarin i suggest you to read up on leoting's blogpost.
Good luck.
